CIOs worry about Gen AI – for all the right reasons
"...And in insurance, according to Alex Cook, Head of Strategic Capabilities at New York Life Insurance Co. The insurer is developing an AI-based tool to help customer service reps better field wide-ranging questions about complex issues. Like, for example, a client question about a rider to a 35-year-old policy the company no longer offers - but is nevertheless still in force. 'Getting answers to questions like that isn't easy, right?' Cook said. 'Often, you've got service reps that weren't even born when those products were issued. 'Quite often today, they'll have to put the client on hold or call them back,' Cook continued. 'It's not very efficient and not a great experience for the customer. The intent is for these generative AI tools to allow that to be a one-and-done type conversation with rapid response.'..."

Are you asking your partner firms these 5 questions?
"...Economic uncertainty and the possibility of a looming recession have investors feeling skittish. At the same time, current market conditions have called into question the strength of the financial institutions with which clients and advisors do business. As a result, both clients and advisors are seeking assurance that strategies implemented today will remain both effective and achievable in the future. When it comes to investing, we know that inadequate risk management can have severe consequences on financial stability. This is true at the individual level and at an institutional level, including at the firms that you recommend to provide the solutions — such as insurance and annuity products — your clients need to build and sustain a financially secure retirement..."

What Is a Soft Landing for the Economy? Will We Have One?
"...Julia Hermann, multi-asset portfolio strategist at New York Life Investments, cautions, 'Paralysis in cash in times of market volatility can be the enemy of long-term financial goals. Adjusting money market yields for inflation over the past several decades shows that the relative "safety" of short-term Treasuries has not preserved wealth over time. Rather than sitting this cycle out, we see many reasons for optimism.' Hermann also suggests, "The resurgence in global yields has reopened an opportunity set for investors that's been closed for the past decade. We like the idea of pairing exposures based on yield (credit risk) and duration (interest-rate risk), so investors can fully participate in income generation potential while also keeping their risk tolerance close in hand..."
